Evaluating AI for Diagnosing and Treating Gummy Smiles: A Pilot Study

NCT07759843 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 210

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Some people have a "gummy smile," where too much gum tissue shows when they smile. Doctors currently diagnose this by hand, using rulers and visual judgment. This study is testing whether a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) can help identify and measure gummy smiles from photographs, as accurately as expert dentists do it manually.

Patients seen at Cairo University's Periodontics and Orthodontics clinics will have photos of their smile taken. Researchers will use these photos to first "teach" the AI program how to recognize and measure a gummy smile. Then, the AI will be tested on a new set of patient photos, and its measurements will be compared to measurements made by expert dentists, to see how closely they match.

The goal is to find out whether this AI tool could one day help doctors diagnose gummy smiles more quickly and consistently, which may improve care for patients.
